Aspic Boulevard

BIOGRAPHY

Sicilian brothers Alessandro and Marco Barrano take a journey through space and time as Aspic Boulevard, with this, their debut album Memory Recall of a Replicant Dream.

The sound is characterized by the use of vintage electronics: analogue keyboards, analogue drum machines, tape recorders, circuit bending and many homemade musical instruments, made of materials such as wooden boxes, metal springs and contact microphones. Some others are built by modifying everyday objects, musical toys and transistor radios, as with the experimentations of Pierre Schaeffer and musicians from Musique concrète school in France in the early 40’s.

The whole project is a sound collage that puts together retro-Futurism, classic sci-fi nuances of 60s & 70s cinematic music, psychedelia and kosmische.

Composer Marco Barrano is of course no stranger to Blow Up Records having previously released MHz Invasion as one half of Daiquiri Fantomas. This received support at BBC 6 Music from DJs such as Radcliff and Maconie, Steve Lamacq on its release in 2013.
